Actual Skill Based CTF

The way CTF is now, even ranked is pretty lame. It's who is rich and can afford val weps to 2 hit people. pacman with flags.
Gm armor/weps only, pots are fine. Ranked should be 'skill based' not cash money based.

***EDIT***

Also add a penalty for people who leave/rejoin just so they can get on the teams they want.

you have no idea what you're talking about. I was in the CTF and all I saw was a bunch of people stopping in mid rather than going for flags and walling. CTF would be better if people knew how to play, which you don't.

Sorry you trash barreled all your items, every newbie has a vanq on this server

you take a personal attack toward a suggestion. really brings out that child inside of you.

it's nothing personal, sorry if you choose to take it that way but clearly after watching your performance tonight and remembering the last time you played a CTF (walling your own teammates on purpose as I recall) I really have no choice but to conclude that you have no idea how to play a team sport, and the mechanics aren't the problem.

I also would like to think after being top 3 in the scoreboard almost 95% of the time that I am qualified to make such a statement.

You also did trash barrel all your millions in items, which was part of the point. It doesn't take very long to get good equipment if you'd simply stop running around aimlessly looking for stealable items since everyone already has the timers. Jus sayin'

If you want to win CTF then you should adapt rather than do the wrong things and then blame everyone but yourself

hanes, as much as i would like to pull the your past into this as well, its not worth it. I am looking for constructive feedback on my suggestion. Unless you have that? See yourself out.
Thanks

Personally I think allowing people to bring their own equipment into CTF does wonders for the server.

Tons of people enjoy testing out their best weapons in a loot-free environment. That also helps them later on when it comes to 7x tourneys to have an understanding of how much damage they're going to do against the higher quality armor as well.

Aside from that, it's dangerous to play around with items inside players backpacks. I've been on servers where equipment has been accidentally deleted. Imagine if players donation gear got messed up by mistake, that wouldn't be good. Might be part of the reason that the system remains as is after seeing these same threads several times in the past with no changes.

Sure, maybe there can be separate CTF's for people who want to bring equipment and those who do not [just like tournies]. I am not excluding that, but having one where exceptional only [non runics] is also a choice. Just like the 1v1 tournies where restrictions are placed. It would be a rule set just like those, you wouldn't be able to equip those items. this wouldnt involve any moving of donation gear. The stock RunUO Event controllers have this ability.

One thing you may not know as you seem to have been away for a while is that staff has tried to host CTF League now twice but there just wasn't enough interest. I believe it was going to be exceptional only as well. Maybe they'll try again soon though

I suppose you're right that it wouldn't take much to have players be unable to equip magics in CTF, still not sure if it would help bring more players or push more players away tho

Either way perhaps I do owe you an apology. I'm sorry. I just had been called out in another suggestions thread and sometimes it's hard to break out of that ''mode'' and realize that you're talking to somebody else. I was also frustrated to be left for dead by my team during that CTF because they felt it more important to get caught up fighting in mid rather than going for the goal as a group. Not that any of that is your fault.

Agree with OP. But good luck seeing any changes, I've argued for the same thing for a long time now, along with many other suggestions for CTF that no one really seems to give a shit about.

i think the people join/quiting should be penalized... if you can get those weps i think its cool to use them, but getting on ts vs. strangers is a major bummer
